Standing to-day, as he does, far in ad- vance of any other physician or medical institution in the country, his wonderful | ss is the outgrowth of several condi- tions by whichalone what he has done in rancisco conld be accomplished. First, the qualifications with which na- ture Las endowed him, a¥7evidenced by his keen perception into the mysteries of all diseases with which those who apply to him are afflicted. He isthus enabled to clearly distinguish the exact character of the complaint and to conceive the proper and most effective kind of treat. ment for its éntire cure. Second, he is wholly devoted to his pro- fession, having no other desire for achieve- ment than to make still grander the com- plete success which he has thus far at. tained. Hiy great stability of character, DOCTOR CQOK. his unceasing study and untiring energy to accomplish that which he setsout to do, together with many more great and noble qualities which one soon recognizes in him, all serve to advance him in his most worthy ambition. Third, his great advantages of study and experi:nce in the leading and best col- loges and hospitals in the land, where he served in all departments, and where his great natural ability was acknowledged in »ll tranches as being superior to his quite worthy biit less successful associates, have all helped to assist him in bis work. Is it any wonder tha:, with all these ad- vantages in his-favor, natural _ability, study, experience and a mind devoted to | basiness. { nall Lis profession, Doctor Cook should have bave been given up as incurable? Asyerno case of failure can be discov- him, and such ability and | sk 11 to combat and conquer all diseases of men and women have never before been | demonstrated. The Doctor’s services are of great value, and if any one thing be worth more than anything else it is certainly the services of a competent and successful paysisian and speciaiist who never loses sight of a single case until a perfect and permanent care is effected. Those who are afflicted shoula not waste time, money and bealth dcsing with cheap treatments, cheap medicines and nostrums. As a man Dr. Cook is truly upright, | conscientious and charitable, and as a sician he is thoroughly competent, earnest and successful, and any and all sons who may be suffering from any human ailment whatever will do them- selves a great injustice if they do not call upon him, even if their trouble have re- sisted 2ll other efforts to cure. He treats nervous, private and chronic diseases; blood and skin diseases; female complaints; kidney, bladder, liver, lung, | throat, stomach and heart diseases; piles, rupture, hydrocele, yaricocele and kindred troubles without pain or detention from He addresses himself in par- ticular to young, middle-aged and old men who are suffering from the awful ef- fects of early inidiscretions, and are thereby unfitted for study, business or the proper enjoyment of either married or single lile. In tmis distressed condition a: many thousands, who, although ori strong in body and bright in mind. have permitted their ailment to run on and on, witil finally, with physical and { mental powers exhausted, death clasimed. them. The .most obstinate cases of this character the doctor treats with unfailing success. All he wants is a fair trial to convince the most skeptical. He uses no mercury or ctherinjurious drugs and un- dertakes no incurabie cases, A large portion of Dr. Cook’s treatment is by’ mail. : He usually desires at least one personal visit when convenient to the patient, but his system of home treat- ment through correspondence is 50 nearly perfect that satisfactory resultsare always assured.

The Ocean Spray bound for Fish Rock had to run back to shelter, while the Corinthian bound for Bowens Landing lost her flying jib and had to put back also, The steam schooner Signal was also in trouble. While buck- | ing the storm herengines broke down and she had to run back to San Francisco under sail. While the steamers and sailing vessels bor north were ‘buckinz into” the storm the bandsome new schooner Muriel was making record time with a cargo of sugar from Hawaii. Yesterday morning | at2 o'clock she was twenty-seven miles | southwest of the Faraliones anl four hours later she was at anchor in port. Fourteen knots an hour is not bad time for a suiling vessel. The Muriel has mad: the round trip in thirty-tive days, thus | beating the record of the John D. Spreck- els, the fastest brig afloat. The fuct that Mauriel is almost a new vessel and that John D. has not been on the drydock | for nearly a year shoula be taken into | consideration. Given an equal show it should be a nip and tuck race between the two vessels. Captain Carlson of the Muriel agzain succeeded in evading pilotage yesterday. | His schooner outran the pilot-boat, and | | in consequence the pilots nad nota chance | to speak her. The Muriel has made six trips to this port, and on four of them Captain Carlson has made port without paying pilotage.

Last Jan- | uary she was spoken off the Horn by the British ship Howth, bat has not been heard from since. The Howth is now in | port, but no word has been received from the Dirigo. | The only cause for nneasiness is the fact that the Dirigo has twice been docked on | account of leaks. When she was here un her last trip she had to go on the dry- | dock to have scme of her bolts in the Luli | overhauled. Later she went to Japan | with a cargo of oil and made the return tripin the fast st time on record. She azain was leaking, however, and again was put on the drydock. She is now on her way to San Francisco with a general cargo. She sailed ten days ahead of the Charmer, now in poet, while the captain of the Howth is anxiously awaiting her arrival in order to win a new hat which he bet on the ran when off Cape Horn. The lerries were overcrowded yesterday morning.: Mayday brought picnickers | from alt parts of the town and from 8 A. M. until noon all the steamers were crowded. Over 2000 pevple went to St. Peier's parish picnic at B Campo, while tully 1800 went to Schuetzen Park with the members of 8t. Francis parish. The members of the Turn Verein also went to Schueizen, while the South Ena Boating Ciub went to Guerneville. All the excursionists had a most eajoyable time.

The Pacific Mail Stean.ship Company is also in the cui-rate war. When the Japa- nese put the Hakusan Maru on the route from Yokohama here the Mail Company at once chartered the British tramp Glena- von and laid her at the same wharf as the Hukus2n Maiu.

Mission Five-mile Improvement Club, with its headquarters at Liguri Hall, can be congratulated by the residents of the Excelsior Homestead section for the pro- gressive spirit manifested by its members since its oreanization. The officers of the club—Dr. E. N. Torello_presideat, H. E. Doyal_vice-president, M, H. Levy secre- tary, F.J. Gilfeather financial secretary, and R. Cereghino, treasurer—have con- tinuously labored with the City authorities for the betterment of this section. Those gentlemen, with the -executive committee—R. Enzelin, I. Herzog, E. Lewis and William Loegermann—Ileft no stone unturned to fully and fairly repre- sent the wants of the iamilies which have chosen this place for t eir homes. It has been demonsirated that the cattle-runs sand hogpens can be much better utilized by having schoolhouses and happy frolicking children occupy the brow of the sunburned southern hilis than by permitting it to remain unproductive, as it has been during tne past foriy years. TLis spirit of vrogress has, however, been fought to such an extent as to call for an official yisit from the Supervisors, which body seat out a delegation, com- posed of Bupervisors Haskins, Devany, Delany, Lackman and Morton, on last Friday to hear both sides of the guestion as to the advisability of extending the pound limits. At present one man insists on keeping a pen of fourteen ‘grunters’ on Crook street in defiance of all protests to the contrary.

Ex-Populist Wilkins Expla‘ns Why Hs Left the People’s Party Last Year. International Labor day was celebrated by the Socialist Labor party in Metropoli- tan Hall last evening with exeicises ap- propriate to the occasion. The seatson the main floor were filled, and the gallery had a fair share of men and women wear- ing the scarlet ribbon. For attempiing to break up the Socialist street meetings and for arresting the driver of the Socialist advertising wagon yesterday forenoon, the police came in for | some hard verbal knocks. Nearly every one in the audience wore the scarlet ribbon, while the red flag drooped from one corner of the gallery, and the American flag from the other cor- ner. Chairman Andrew’s opening speech was brief and not startling, out, on the other hand, a little vague, as most speeches on the same subject are. He said: Citizens of the world: I address you thus, for no country can own you. Each socialist can siy iu his heart: “Tne world s my coun- try; to do good is my religion.” Nobody can tei! what there is in store for us if we wouid behave as we ought to behave if we would use the means at our disposal to tae best of our knowledge. Men, women and children are re- Jolcing ail over the world tc-day, and hoping agains. hope sometimes.

Yet no man, woman or child is to-day what they should be. Every Socialist should be devoted to the s truth and scatter hope and joy wherever you can; put vim and vigor into them. N sy fail; never give up. if there is anything on behalf of the oppressed that you have ai | heart. | We have good reason to tejoice. The evi- | Gence of our progress is satisiactory to our | minds.

Roulston read a paper. It was also in the sad minor key, and, womanlike, filled with reproach-s. She spoke wistfully of the beauty of the May- time. It was made for all, but a few men walked the earth and proualy boasted | “This fair land 1s ours.” Her speeck | voiced thecry for nature, for the green | fields, the fragrant flowers and tie blue | unsulliea skies. It was a protest against ( factory walls, *‘the crowded alleys of the | town’ and the smoke-begrimed city. E. T. Kingsley made a speech in which | he made several uncomplimentary allu- sions to the police of this City for arrest- ing the young comrade who was driving tq:hwnzon advertising the meeting last night. 8t. Louis, and author of a large vart of tue Omaba platform, made the speech of tue evening. He was a middie-of-the-road man, and when the’ Populists nominated Bryan he made up his miad to join the Boclalist Labor party. He said that_a millionaire and agent of the Southern Pacific Company went into the People’s party convention in St. Louis and logrolled for the indorsement of Bryan and Sewall, and he became con- vinced that the party was playing into the hands of tne capitalists and the corpora- tions. The Eocialisis had no hatrea for the capitalists per se, but they hated the sys= tem. The producer should have control - | of the tools of production, so that witn M. W. Wilking, one of the delezates to | the People’s party National convention at | two or threa hours' labor per day every one would be enabled to live in comfort. Miss Minnie Aspden played a cornet solo, «Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep,” and for a_well-merited encore rendered ‘‘Flee as a Bird”’—botnmelancholy enough for the “occasicn. George Aspden foilowed with a recit:tion, “The Bridge of Sighs,” which he defivered with great pathos and tenderness. George Ames gave a troms bone solo and did it so well that he was encored. The “Marseillaise” wus sung again by the audience and the meeting closed. NEW TO-DAY. S0LD FOR STORAGE.

EVERY MAN HIS 0WN DOCTOR Is just what many men would like to see come to pass. These men are discouraged with doctors. They go to a big, highly recommended doctor and he fails to do them good; then they try another; after a while they come to think doctors a poor lot of men, and wish for some cer- tain remedy or treatment that will cure them. To these men a fair proposition is here offered. Ten thou- sand living, hardy men testify in black and white that they were cured by a remedy-treatment called HUD- YAN. Many of these men never expected to hold up their faces again and look squarely into the eyes of their fellow-being. One man actually wrote: ‘ I am troubled with dizzy spells. Sometimes I get them when I am standing ; at other times when I lay down; everything whirls about me. [ am troubled with pains in the small of my back and pains up each side of the backbone to the lower points. of the shoulder-blade. These pains are not permanent.

There are 10,000 of just such men---strong men, with the vim and bounce and brace and tight powerful strength. These men are no longer weak, premature creatures ’ they are men and can be seen. They are willing to tes- tify, and have done so. These men say HUDYAN is a good treatment. These men---10,000 of them-—-are cured. Do you want to be cured?
